DWP Work Coach July 23

Just a quick note to those of you who have concerns that the scores for your interview might not be enough to get an offer. I scored 24 for all questions and was given a provisional offer in Leeds. Just waiting for the DWP to conduct all the pre employment checks

Do you have to score a minimum of 4 on each question or can you score a minimum of 24 overall (i.e some answers you score 6 and some and some 3 etc)?
Congratulations 🎉

I had two interviews for two different areas and the first interview I totally messed up. I received the results yesterday and scored some 3's so I failed.

I am still waiting to hear about the second one, which went a lot better in my opinion,

Yes, all behaviour, & no strength.

The waiting after is harder than the actual interview. Honestly, I really stressed myself out with the interview, you'll be fine.

oh man, i guess everyone for the area has to interview and then they award in order of merit, so it's going to be a tortuous wait

I just did my interviews. Don't feel so great because my responses felt robotic...because I had recited my examples so I was trying to remember them and put them into the STAR method........but fingers crossed I guess
I did my interview and passed with 24 but still waiting to see whether my ID gets verified. After that, I pray I get a provisional offer and not put on the reserve list. Does anyone know whether they ask for ID verification if they are going to give you a provisional offer?

Hi, how long after your interview did you have to wait to confirm you got the job? Mine still says “Thank you for completing your pre-recorded video interview. You should hear from us soon with regards to the outcome.” it’ll be 5 week on Thursday I did my interview.
